A Hiccup in the Prosecution of the J6 Defendants

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 4/9/2023 4:56:32 AM

In a 107-page split opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia may well have torched the outrageous overcharging of hundreds of people who peacefully walked through the Capitol, a public building, on January 6, 2021. The question before the court was whether the phrase “obstructing, influencing, or impeding an official proceeding, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2)” warrants charging those who peacefully walked through the Capitol with felonies.

If it was the decision of the US Court of Appeals in the District that all of these people were charged it is the same as the decision of Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats There is no Justice in the US District Courts they are as corrupt as Hitler's Judges during the reign of the Third Reich. Owned by the Democrat party.

Just a hiccup. Since there is a strong dissent, the Supreme Court might take the case, if the defendants want to go that route.

This is a HUGE scandal that is barely reported on: people grabbed on the spot (or hunted down at their homes in other states as late as a year later, not given a "speedy trial" and jailed, some in solitary and without meds, some people in their 70's. No only where is justice in this country, but where is the PRESS? No wonder they are held in such contempt,.

The fact not mentioned is that GOVERNMENT 'agents', some employed and some not employees, were paid to agitate a 'riot'. They did so, and every single person persecuted should be freed and the 'agents' involved prosecuted. Thousands of hours of video, some released and some not, showed this to be the case. Pelosi caused this event to spiral out of control, her daughter filmed it, and she refused to allow National Guard members to be present to stop such an event from happening ( as President Trump requested ). She committed an insidious crime and should be prosecuted for doing so.

i was thinking of that recently, #1: hitler's judges were not merely bribed into corruption; imho, they were as culpable of evil as anybody, and everybody, in the Reich. they should have been hanged along side the other malefactors in the Reich, one expects. does anybody know about that? those who took so much as a penny from sogross and fam and co-conspirators to kill innocents ought to dangle as well. operation paperclip allowed scientists into america after the war. luckily, the current murderers' row cannot claim any such talent, virtue, or redemptive humanitarian values.

Barack Obama was “heartbroken” over the drowning of his chef Tafari Campbell, but has said nary a word about him since he drowned on Sunday.

The Democrats’ Dilemma: How to Convince

As the 2024 presidential election is beginning to cast a growing shadow over the American political landscape, many in the party establishment are quietly looking into replacing Joe Biden as the Democrat Party nominee. But who will they choose to replace Biden and how are they going to force him to either resign or drop out of the race without creating political turmoil for the party? Biden’s physical and mental incapacity is becoming increasingly pronounced and the Republican House, with the assistance of numerous whistleblowers, is revealing evermore damning evidence of potential criminality by both Joe and his son, Hunter.

The short video from Matt Orfalea embedded below brilliantly summarizes the evidence that Dr. Fauci bullied scientists into changing their minds about what their research showed: that Covid was the product of a lab, not a naturally occurring virus. It’s one thing to read about the correspondence among those scientists in print. But seeing their actual words excerpted and dramatized with exaggerated cartoonish treatment drives home the point forcefully, especially after the brief clip of Fauci lying to the nation in a presser. This is the best use of 85 seconds today that I can think of right now:

Lisa Murkowski is the perfect mascot for Senate Republicans. She is a Democrat in all but name, an aristocrat who inherited her office, and a beneficiary of rigged elections. She has more in common with Nancy Pelosi than the average Republican voter, and every time Alaskan Republicans attempt to throw her out of office, Mitch McConnell's minions manipulate the rules to save her. For McConnell, Murkowski is another beholden senator kept securely in his pocket who will vote how he wants on any given day.

What happens if the 25th Amendment is

Yesterday’s blog post on the need to start pressuring Biden’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment drew a lot of readers and commenters, with much concern expressed about what happens next. Because the 25th has never been invoked, there is some confusion about whether or not a new vice president would need to be appointed. (snip) the Vice President remains in office as VP and only becomes “Acting President.” While all the “duties and powers” (Section 4) of the presidency devolve upon the Acting President, there is no vacancy in the office of Vice President. So, there is no need or ability to appoint a new Vice President.

Brett Baier must not moderate the Republican debate 30 replies
Posted by tisHimself 8/11/2023 8:34:02 AM Post Reply
Brett Baier is not qualified to moderate the Republican debate on August 23 in Milwaukee. Mr. Baier had a much-publicised interview with President Trump a month ago. This interview amply demonstrated Baier’s antipathy towards the President. Most of the time he appeared to be cordial towards the President, however, when Trump brought up the topic of the stolen election, Baier became abusively hostile and interrupted his guest incessantly and would not let the President talk. Right after the election the charges of fraud surfaced, and at every opportunity, the Republicans were asked by the media and Democrats if the election was stolen

So Mitt Romney's niece threw a hail Mary, and back in February, McDaniel mulled the idea of a "loyalty pledge" before promptly instituting it. Here's what she had to say at the time about the tactic, during a chummy conversation with CNN's Dana Bash, via Politico:
The new twist in Hunter Biden’s case

Posted by Mercedes44 8/11/2023 11:00:05 PM Post Reply
A sudden new twist in the investigation into Hunter Biden means his legal tribulations will likely stretch on for months, creating an unwelcome new drag on his father’s White House and reelection bid. Just weeks ago, the shadow of criminal suspicion over Hunter Biden seemed about to lift. But the elevation of David Weiss, the prosecutor investigating President Joe Biden’s son, to special counsel status on Friday was as important for symbolic and political reasons as it was for legal ones. The new status grants him extra powers to broaden his inquiries – potentially into other states beyond his current patch as US attorney in Delaware.

Hawaii had the world's fanciest natural disaster warning system on the planet. It also had an ongoing firebug problem, and recent academic study warning that the place was very vulnerable to fire catastrophes. Somehow, none of that figured in the government's fire plan. The firebug is still out there. The conditions created for big fires, such as the proliferation of non-native grasses, remain on Maui. And the fancy emergency warning system somehow didn't work. Never mind any of that: Its governor says the problem is global warming.
